Merely being aghast at extrajudicial killings doesn’t stop them.
The Rodney King beating was filmed 30 years ago, so evidently we need more than just documenting it. We need to elect people who will actually defund the police, because reform clearly doesn't work.

I genuinely don't know what point you're trying to make.
> Copyright law is the real problem and not the extrajudicial murder of citizens by police?
I am pointing out why this is a false dichotomy.
Where is the evidece of this?
Documenting deadly encounters with police probably is a good thing.
But 99.99% of encounters with police are not that, I'm not sure filming every encounter is necessarily productive, you'll have to provide some evidence.
In my country, we don't film the police, there is not a lot of police violence, and of course, there is not a lot of gun crime.
In US about 40% of households or 22% of individuals own guns. More likely among those doing bad things, so you can say 30% of the people cops are dealing with own guns. There's a very high chance that someone they pull over, has a gun.
Other complex issues aside, consider if you could magically take away those 270M guns, what would the outcome be? And how would policing change? How would the posture of public servants in those situations change?
As for filming, I'd rather see strong rules about their bodycam uses, ie when it has to be on, off etc.. Like for example, they have to have it on for pullovers, or if they are in any kind of complex interaction.
